Woemn Against Violence & VAW 22-12-2012

An international campaign initiated by Centre for Global Issues and Women's Leadership to include 'violence against women as violation of human rights' in the UN Charter on Human Rights has become a rallying point for women's rights organisations in India. In the context of the recent developments in Somalia, Bosnia and India, this campaign is also focusing on the issue of 'Rape as a war-crime'.
In response to increasing numbers and intensity of barbaric sexual violence against girls and women, women groups are demanding "Parents - Don't tell your daughters what to wear or not wear, sensitize your sons to treat girls and women as equal people". The governments should be petitioned to make compulsory studies on Gender Equality in the curriculum of the schools of the country.
